  • star rating  Martinborough in one day - We had one day in Wellington on a cruise ship and wanted to maximize our day visiting wineries in Martinborough. We were lucky enough to find Helen with Silver Cloud... read more and it was a perfect day!!! She's incredibly informative about the wine industry in general having grown up around it and her passion and knowledge truly made the day a perfect 10. She helped us pick the best wineries to explore and peppered the day with great stories about the history of the area and personal anecdotes that really made it more special. We saw a larger group from our ship coming in to one of the stops and they didn't get a quarter of the special attention and experience that we did. Due to bad weather our port visit was delayed by a day and on very short notice Helen made changes to accommodate our group which really blew us away. If you're considering a tour here (wine related or otherwise) there is no better hostess!

  • star rating  Simply Amazing!! - Helen was simply amazing! We booked a wine tour with Helen based on all the wonderful TripAdvisor reviews and we are so happy we did! She arranged a full... read more day of wine tasting, lunch, a brief tour of Wellington and even a stop at Rivendell for some views of the LOTR filing locations.

    She not only had a perfect itinerary, but she also had waters, mints, cheese and crackers available to us - she seriously thought of everything! The wines were delicious and the stop for lunch (included) had the best lamb shank I’ve ever tasted!

    My husband and I just got back to our cruise ship and can’t stop talking about how fantastic this tour and Helen’s hospitality was. This was defiitely the best wine tour we’ve taken, and we’ve taken many!

    Thank you Helen, for such a amazing day!

  • star rating  Simply Superb Luxury Touring Services with Loads of Charm, Pampering and Knowledge - Our small group of four had two amazing days in Wellington and its environs guided by Helen, the owner of Silver Cloud Luxury Tours. Helen is creative, flexible, funny,... read more helpful, relaxed and so knowledgeable about all that fabulous Wellington has to offer. As a lifelong resident of Wellington, she knows and loves Wellington's every nook and cranny. Her vehicle was pristine and thoughtfully stocked with water, tissues, mints, etc. She worked tirelessly to ensure that every detail of our time together came off flawlessly. We spent one delightful afternoon in the wine country just outside of Wellington where we had a killer lunch at the gorgeous Poppies Vineyard, tasted yummy chocolates at Schoc Chocolates and sampled delicious olive oils at Olivo. Whatever your particular interest or interests, Helen will craft an utterly memorable time in Wellington for you. She also has special capabilities and expertise for disabled travelers. You cannot go wrong with this gem of a company lead by its star owner, Helen!

  • star rating  The Very Best! - We wanted an intimate private tour that covered a lot of ground during our one precious day in Wellington. Helen of Silver Cloud Tours delivered that and then some! We... read more rode the cable car, saw government buildings, St. Pauls Church, had a delicious lunch at Roxy Theater, took at tour of Weta Studios and finished off with a wonderful visit to Te Papa which Helen personally narrated. We told Helen about our interests (LOTR, Maori culture) and she thoughtfully incorporated that into our itinerary. I have a bad knee and Helen was always there to help me into the van which is super comfortable with captains seats. Helen is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her home town of Wellington and kept us entertained and comfortable the whole time. After the tour was over Helen followed up that night with emails about things we might be interested in. We have been on quite a few private tours and Silver Cloud ranked up there with the best ever. Honestly we felt like Helen was a good friend rather than a tour guide. Prices are very reasonable for what you get too. Don't hesitate, book with Silver Cloud Luxury Tours!

Her little stories kept us all enthralled. She was able to re-adjust our tour when time got tight due to our over stays in the wineries. (Sorry Helen).

The tour was of the city sights... read more & we loved every bit of it, especially the cable car ride & morning tea at the Roxy Theatre. Both Helen & Jonathan were accommodating & friendly, nothing was too much trouble. They let us take our time at the attractions that we were especially interested in & we were never hurried. We can't wait to cruise back to Wellington again take another tour with Helen. Thank you so much for our wonderful experience of Wellington & for the photos of our ship (Celebrity Solstice) departing Wellington.
